Recenzii
"Beware of cant, avoid the bogs, ignore the glib and trust your instincts" those are the lessons that Gauthier van Malderen gradually absorbed as he built his first company
Gauthier is one of the smartest entrepreneurs I know. His observations are sharp, his advice refreshingly unpolished, and his bullshit detector is world-class. Every founder needs advice. Gauthier's is usually right, occasionally uncomfortable, and almost always hilarious. Read this book before making your next expensive mistake.
A founder's job is to hold every version of reality in the room - investors, the team, customers - and still make a decision that is yours. Almost every expensive mistake in this book is a failure of that: deciding before you've understood how the room sees it, or letting the room decide for you. What makes this book is that Gauthier puts himself out there. He shows the vulnerability of trying to meet everyone's needs at once and the mistakes that come with it, honestly and without the usual hindsight.
In Start-Up Confessions, Gauthier Van Malderen admits what most founders won't: that advice is autobiography, that great culture can't be designed, that company ups and especially the downs more often trace back to choices founders make than to external factors they blame. From a layoff call he couldn't make 'fair' the way he wanted, to boardrooms that only worked once he shrank them, to the slow, invisible grind behind every 'overnight success', this is the truth nobody puts in the pitch deck. Kudos!
This is the unvarnished, anxiety-fueled story of running a successful start-up. Gauthier, a hugely accomplished founder, struggles against the seemingly inevitable transition to corporate CEO, capturing much of the same madness I experienced running Monzo.
